Building a Star wars yoke from scratch
(1/25) > >>
menace:
I mentioned this to a couple of guys at the last auction and figured I should post an update...I'm building one out of 1/4" ply and sheet metal--I'll post some pics and a brief how to, when i get it a little further along--I haven't taken as many pics as I should have so there may be some intuitive leaps required by the reader... :-[ but it feels and moves like the original so far.  What I could use is some close ups of the original and inside non-blurry shots would be especially appreciated--all my inside shots (that were clear) came from e-bay :P

Damit! I am getting really annoyed with the whole Star Wars thing.. I mean, I love the game.. but is it really worth it to spend tons of hours and money to just play the game? And I doubt anyone who has built Star Wars controls actually ever won the game entirely...

I dunno... I  love that friggin game, but I am starting to question the obsession with it and the obsession to emulate the damn controls....for ONE game? JEEZ!

 :P :-X :-[ :-\ :-*

Hell yes it is.

That was my absolute favorite arcade game of all time.

No BS.

(and it plays like crap with EVERY other controller I've ever user)

normally i would agree with you but I'm actually having fun putting this together and trying to keep it cheap without sacrificng feel and aesthetics (too much)--I'm hoping i can use it with spy hunter too since i desperately want to play that game properly as well

Also, its something i would only do if i could do it myself--if my only option was to buy the yoke then i could proabably live with out. *shrug*

I'm just writing to say THANK YOU!

Thank you for spelling YOKE correctly.

I know this isn't a spelling bee here, but for some reason seeing someone type in "star wars YOLK[/i][/u] always makes me wonder..if they can't figure out that "no eggs were harmed in the making of this control",  HOW the heck can they figure out how to complete one of these things!?!?  

It's one thing to misspell for the sake of tender eyes that may be viewing this site, but my eyes are tender too, and some folks' spelling are like shards of glass in my eye!  

Some things trip a person's anal retentive nerve, others...pheh!

Sorry about that OT rant.
